Parameters
Refer to “The Optional Parameters”, on page 2-3 for additional details on
the parameters in this command.
Example
1. The mnemonic DEF means DEFault. This is not equivalent to the DEFault
parameter used in the command sub-systems. The parameters must be entered in the
specified order. If parameters are omitted, they will default from the right. The
parameter DEFault is used as a place holder. Specifying
DEF leaves the parameter
value unchanged.
2. When the measurement result is linear this parameter represents the number of
significant digits. When the measurement result is logarithmic 1 to 4 represents a
resolution of 1, 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 respectively.
Item Description/Default Range of Values
expected_value
(for the
expected
power level)
A numeric value for the expected
power level. The units of
measurement are dBm and W. The
default units are defined by
UNIT:POWer.
sensor dependent
DEF
1
resolution A numeric value for the resolution.
If unspecified the current
resolution setting is used.
1 to 4
2
1.0, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001
DEF
1
source list This is the channel on which the
command is implemented.
If unspecified the current window
setup is used. However, on the
HP E4419B, if the window shows a
ratio or difference measurement,
the upper window defaults to
channel A and the lower window to
channel B.
(@1)
(@2) (HP E4419B only)
CONF1:POW:AC DEF,2,(@1) This command configures the
upper window to measure the
power of channel A, using the
current sensor range and a
resolution setting of 2.
